I'm working on a new talk which I'm eager to get out and about throughout not just my neck of the woods, in and around Atlanta, but globally somehow. And yes, in PERSON, not just over the Internet Super Highway! I believe in FACE to FACE communications! With that, I'll be speaking about how we [...]
How would you conduct your life? We've all considered this, or pondered the thought at least momentarily. I would fret so much less over the seeming big things which distract me, make me sad, frightened or upset. I'd say 'what the hell'. Honestly, 'what the hell'. Who really cares, I'm gonna die soon anyhow. How [...]
I was reminded as I sat quietly this early morning....a full day ahead of me of relative freedom.... Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; [...]
I'm enamored (is that the correct word this morning) with the process of being human on this planet. Enamored isn't the best word, but it'll have to do for the moment. I felt a net lift from my myopic view of the world this week. Some things became crystal clear. And if not CRYSTAL clear, [...]
For a woman who works the hours I do...certainly of late, I am reminded this early Sunday evening the necessity for play...with people we love, who 'get' parts of who we are. My friend Janice is one of those friends who makes me feel prettier, smarter, FUNNIER, more generous, inventive and generally a [...]
When I'm stressed out, I can't breathe. It all makes perfect sense. One of our most basic functions is breathing. We don't think about it much until it becomes difficult. I've grown tired this week of the human race. I'm finding people to be lacking in grace, forgiveness, understanding and compassion. I'm disappointed to my [...]
Almost Friday. Each week like a bourbon splash or flirty fast wink. With more fodder for stories. This week a topper! I've written, set aside the words, written some more and ooooh, set it aside. Though in time, another day, without the need to watch my words so much, I'll encourage the transparent sparrow that [...]
“Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.” Kahil Gibran He had it right. Simple, true. I will remember that as I face the 'entitled' this day, the ones who push beyond fair measure. I will remember instead to lovingly stand my ground, say no where it is [...]
I have just a moment this evening as I've been on a tear....probably not uncharacteristic, but a tear for sure. When I see what needs to be done...with utter clarity, damn if I'm not unstoppable. I feel a bit like a canon in those moments...once shot from my chambers I'm unstoppable. My team knows this, [...]
Such a title....but it rings true. The sound of the railroad lulls me in the office at Carl House as the calls come in, as I navigate personalities, work to keep everyone and myself on target, in line, clear of my vision and moving forward with support and clarity. There are hills, there are indeed [...]
